Hi,

Can someone recommend me an earbud which looks and maybe sound similar to B&O A8 or ATH-EC700 or Aurvana Air? I'm not too particular about SQ since this is for casual use (where the environment will be too noisy anyway ) but my only requirement is that there must be no sibilance or harsh highs.

Many thanks!

This is the grand daddy of the type of clip earphones you are looking for with dual drivers per side.

Here is the cheaper and trendier option. The AKG K316.

Thanks for the reply. Koss over budget liao AKG K316 is meant for sporting use right? Would it be suitable for people who have specs (those earlooks look kinda large)? I know the ATH-EC700 and Aurvana Air have thin metal frames which are alright.

any IEM recommended aorun rm300 budget?

Thanks for the input! I'm leaning towards the a-Jays right now but like you said, the Pipes are good looking, which would be a plus for the girlfriend. Haha so yeaah caught in a bit of a dilemma.

If your GF isn't an audiophile I'd say go for the Pipes.

There is much more to the AiAiAi Pipes then just the looks

hello, i'm asking here behalf of my friends.

Budget around RM500~1000 If possible, please recommend a DAC as well that can drive the headphone with it within the budget. (Prefer Open can, because feared unable to listen what happen outside of room or anything)

Music - Classical, Techno, Acoustic, Orchestra, Anime Songs.

Sound Clarity is the Priority, he got poisoned after listening to my AEGO M Sound clarity + ASIO and decide become Audiophile

Ur GF audiophile person or not?

The award winning AKG K242HD and the highly recommended FiiO E7 (2011 edition) USB/DAC amplifier.

lol no. hahahaha. but i'd like to bring her into it?
i'm leaning towards the Pipe now but still deciding..
anyone else has suggestions for IEM with controltalk? preferably available in pink or purple or something. ahahaha

is there any other headphone as good as SRH 440 but yet lighter and give more portability? * within the same price range*

Final Audio Piano Forte II

I dunno if it fits ur budget but it should have no sibilance. =D I hate sibilance too!!

can you recommend me which headphone the best for electronic dance music? i heard TMA-1 is good. how about other brand? and one more thing i notice all audiophile people (not a DJ) that into electronic music. pioneer product not their first choice. weird because a lots of world class DJ using pioneer headphones. can someone explain to me why? and all high end headphone need amp?

That is a sweeping statement which is not being substantiated by actual figures

For generic DJ brands like Stanton, Technics, Pioneer, Newmark etc, there are sponsorship programs with popular DJs especially during their public performances or MVs to promote the brands. Just like the Monster/Dre's.

The no. 1 DJ, Armin Van Buuren uses Stanton DJ Pro 2000, Tiesto as well. David Guetta uses Sennheisers, Above & Beyond as well. Deadmau5 uses in-earphones. These are the Top 5s in 2010 rated by DJ Mag and none of them uses Pioneer.

Going beyond the hypes, not forgetting that we are all posting in the audiophile section, there are the highly regarded AKG K181DJs, very big in Europe. Then there are the Sennheisers with new entrants like the V-Moda Crossfade, AiAiAi TMA-1.

You will find a list of 26 top European DJs that are working with TMA-1 here: http://tma-1.com/#/our_testers/?member=test0

Here is a detail comparison review between the Crossfade and TMA-1.
